About the Role

At Hammersmith & Fulham, we are ambitious for our residents and committed to creating a safer, stronger and kinder borough for everyone. We are looking for a highly organised and politically aware Cabinet Support Officer to provide trusted policy and administrative support to two or three Cabinet Members, while contributing to the wider work of the Cabinet, the Administration and the Leader’s Office. This is a varied and fast-paced role at the heart of the Council’s decision-making. You will help Cabinet Members deliver their portfolio priorities by providing high-quality briefings, research, correspondence and casework support. You will manage busy diaries and inboxes, coordinate meetings and site visits, prepare agendas and papers, record and track actions, and ensure that commitments are followed through. You will work closely with senior leaders, council services, residents, community organisations and external partners. Using sound judgement and careful forward planning, you will identify emerging issues, commission information, draft clear responses and make sure Cabinet Members receive accurate, timely and relevant advice. Political sensitivity, confidentiality and discretion will be essential throughout. The Role is office based and may involve attending meetings, site visits and public events outside core office hours in line with the working patterns of Cabinet Members and the needs of the service. You will join a supportive, high-profile team where your work will contribute directly to Council priorities and visible outcomes for residents. H&F promotes and offers opportunities to develop your knowledge, relationships and career within local government.
